Broncos WR Marvin Mims to sit out vs. Raiders along with CB Pat Surtain, TE Nate Adkins

The Broncos will be without All-Pro returner Marvin Mims Jr. for a second straight game.

Denver on Wednesday ruled Mims out for Thursday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Empower Field at Mile High due to a concussion. That could put wide receiver Michael Bandy in line to again be elevated from the practice squad to return punts against the Raiders.

As expected, the Broncos also ruled out cornerback Pat Surtain II (pectoral) and tight end Nate Adkins (knee), who both also will miss a second straight game. They listed safety P.J. Locke (neck) as questionable.

While it was known Surtain and Adkins wouldn’t be ready to return on a short week to face the Raiders, Mims appeared to have a chance to be back after suffering his concussion Oct. 26 against Dallas. With the Broncos holding walkthroughs, he was listed as a limited participant on estimated injury reports put out Tuesday and Wednesday.
